It’s not like the pitching didn’t do a good enough job. For most of the rest of July, giving up four runs wouldn’t have been an issue for the Red Sox offense. For some reason, the last two days, they’ve (mostly) been ice cold.
They ran into another double play and weren’t even a threat with the ghost runner on in the 10th and 11th. It was brutal to watch after a phenomenal comeback.
Honestly, I don’t have much to say about this one. A win was in arms reach, but Josh Winckowski couldn’t pitch well enough in the 8th, and every inning after that, it felt like pulling teeth to get outs.
